Recommendations

Citation rates and perceptions of scientific contribution

In this study scientists were asked about their own publication history and their citation counts. The study shows that the citation counts of the publications correspond reasonably well with the authors' own assessments of scientific contribution. ...
Russian scientific publications 2005---2009 in the science citation index, scopus, and chemical abstracts databases

This paper presents the results of a bibliometric study of the scientific publications that are affiliated with Russia and included in multidisciplinary databases, such as Science Citation Index and Scopus, as well as in the specialized Chemical ...
Citation contagion: a citation analysis of selected predatory marketing journals
Abstract
To date, limited studies have examined the citations of articles published in predatory journals, and none appears to have been done in marketing. Using Google Scholar (GS) as a citation source, this study aims to examine the extent of citations ...
